Topic:"The HOWs and WHY's of
deploying bare metal XenApp onto HP Moonshot"
Short description: "When one of the worlds largest financial
institutions wanted to reduce the cost of their 100k seat VDI
deployment, they of course turned to the best guy XenApp guy in the
industry. Unfortunately he wasn't available, so they got me. Over the
past year, I've designed and built a new XenApp 7.6-based XenApp
hosting environment based on HP Moonshot that meets all their high
level objectives:
•Improve server density in the data centre
•Reduce the "watts per user" power consumption
•Remove the cost and complexity of the hypervisor
•Move away from VDI desktop delivery to XenApp application delivery
•Provide shared GPU access to all users and applications
(future-proofing)
•Remove central single points of failure where possible (cloud-like
approach, no PVS!)
In my session I'll cover some of the HOWs and WHYs of what we built"Presenter:Neil Spellings,

considered a powerful and reliable tool, if a little cumbersome at
times. But what about performance? Which CSEs/modules should be
avoided? How does the number of GPOs affect logon duration? Is loopback
processing slow? Are WMI filters really that bad? Those any many other
questions will be answered in this session.
In this session you will learn:
1) Architecture decisions affecting logon performance
2) Which settings to avoid
3) How to speed up user logons by optimizing Group PolicyPresenter: Helge Klein,
